Commentary on 2 Kings 18:24

Theological / Devotional

One captain. Again the Assyrian was simply belittling Judah for its military weakness. He taunted the people with not possessing the strength to repulse a single captain of the Assyrian host, one of the weakest of the many companies the Assyrians had in the field.

On Egypt. The Rabshakeh sneered at the weakness of Judah and the folly of putting trust in so weak a power as Egypt.
